Bruce Springsteen plays Broadway encore for the first time ever

Fans were lucky to attend Bruce Springsteen's Broadway show last Tuesday as it was the first time he stayed on to perform an encore.

After finishing "Born to Run" as his last number, he surprised fans saying,

You're a beautiful audience. You're so good, you get the first encore ever. Feel free to take a picture.

He performed "This Hard Land", a song first recorded in 1983 during the Born in the U.S.A. sessions but released in 1995.

Although Springsteen allowed the audience to record and take photos, YouTube removed clips of the encore due to automated copyright breach detection. All we have is a video uploaded on Twitter by Mitch Slater. Watch the 30-second snippet below.
